Businesses who used eco-friendly hiring policies also observed a 15% increase in employee retention rates and a 12% rise in job satisfaction levels. These findings underline the need of applying sustainable human resource strategies to develop a qualified workforce and assist to realize corporate sustainability projects simultaneously. Long-term performance effects as well as approaches for general acceptance across industries should be the focus of next studies.
